Wines with our Scottish friends

[hotwine]

Yesterday we wrapped up the week-long visit with good friends from Edinburg. The wine toll included the following:
'00 Fiefs de Lagrange (2)
'97 Cline Small Berry Mourvedre (2)
'01 Antinori CC Riserva Tenute Marchese (2)
'01 Pertinace Barbaresco (2)
NV Chandon sparkler (2)
'05 Becker Vyds Prairie Rotie Tallant Vyd (2)
'05 Perrin & Fils CdRV Vinsobres (1)

The Cline Mourvedre was the stand-out.... in excellent condition, still very fruity with fine complexity. The Fiefs was something of a letdown, even after decanting for two hours.... was looking for more.

(hic) mercy.
